Ubuntu software centre to provide easier access to Deb packages |
 |
Canonical has gradually been shifting its focus when it comes to package management on Ubuntu, slowly introducing Snap packages as an alternative to classic Deb packages and replacing some large Deb packages with Snap bundles. The software centre has been primarily focused on providing access to Snap packages. It's FOSS is reporting that Ubuntu 26.04 will restore some balance between the two formats, making it easier to manage Deb packages from within the software centre: "With the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, the App Center will begin displaying Debian packages installed from official repositories. Until now, it only showed Snap apps, making it unnecessarily difficult to manage .deb packages through the GUI. In fact, uninstalling a .deb from the App Center required manually searching for it and navigating to its listing page. This change won't end the Snap vs Deb debate, but it's definitely a step in the right direction."
